On the way home, after grocery shopping on Sunday, we stopped at Kimgane to get some Kimbap. We’d been shopping for about 2 hours, so we couldn’t wait until we get home. As usual, it was very crowded, though I remind you it is a quite small size shop. I’ve never eat in there with Michael, because I don’t like people staring at us. (In other restaurants, people still stare at us, though I always sit where no one else is around so I can avoid those eyes, but at Kimgane you can’t really avoid it.) – We are living in a small town, 5 hours away from Seoul, so foreigners are quite rare.

I ordered Chamchi Kimbap (Tuna Kimbap) and Sogogi Kimbap (Beef Kimbap).
Both are 2500 won each (US $2.60).

While a lady was making Chamchi Kimbap, I was carefully watching her to learn how to roll it. (It is slightly different to making vegetable Kimbap) I could feel my eyes were flaming out of eagerness to learn. Hopefully I can demonstrate well for my readers next time when I make it.

When we got home, I unpacked them like a beast.

I tasted Sogogi Kimbap first. I expected it to taste like bulgogi, but it didn’t. (I can’t guarantee though, I think it is just marinated with soy sauce.) However, they both were really good, yet I still like Chamchi Kimbap best. Two thumbs up!
